Welcome to Time 4 Leicestershire
Time4Leicestershire co-ordinates the community timebanks across Leicestershire. Our vision is to have active, thriving timebanks in every District of the county. These timebanks will connect communities, develop relationships and empower individuals.
Timebanking creates new and positive ways for people to connect and make new friends in their local area. Everyone’s time is valued equally – an hour of time equals one time credit.
This help page is created and maintained by our software provider Made Open. Access help by playing a tutorial video or exiting this platform to view one of Made Open’s help guide pages.
